When promoting ethical behaviour, everyone benefits. Being honest, forthright and consistent in our dealing with others fosters a positive social and sporting environment. A club that prides itself on integrity inspires confidence in our members and the wider community.

Any updates will be brought to the attention of all club members in writing and expeditiously.

This code applies at all times, without exception, to all members and executive members. Partners, as well as third parties, are also expected to adhere to the Code when dealing with or acting on behalf of the club.

Which Laws Apply

As a travelling soccer club we are subject to the laws of many jurisdictions, including nations, provinces, states, municipalities and international bodies, such as FIFA. Members must obey the law in each jurisdiction where the club participates. If a conflict should arise between the applicable laws of different identities where the club participates, or the club Code and any law or regulation, the matter should be brought to the attention of a member representative of the executive for a ruling or further investigation.

Health & Safety

Members are expected to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. We adopt standards, procedures, contingency measures to ensure that our operations are managed safely, ecologically and in a sustainable way.
To protect their own safety as well of their colleagues and communities, members undertake not to participate in their sport under the influence of any substance that could impair their judgement or interfere with the effective and responsible performance of their duties.

Confidential Information

Confidential information is information belonging to the club that is not subject to public disclosure. Confidential information encompasses information produced by the club or obtained in confidence from a third party and covered by a non-disclosure agreement.
Do not divulge confidential information to anyone other than the person or persons for whom it was intended, unless authorized or legally required to do so. Members agree to maintain such confidentiality at all times, even after leaving or retiring as a club member.

A conflict of interest is considered to be any situation or arrangement where your personal activities or interests conflict with your membership responsibilities. Your actions must never lead to personal gain to the detriment of the club’s stated business interests.

Club partners and third parties must know and agree to comply with the Code. All agreements with partners and third parties must be in writing and must specify the goods and services to be provided and the fees to be paid. Such agreements must be in line with reasonable competitive and market practices, the principles established in the Code and relevant club policies.

Competition

About Us.

The club is made up of players from all over the world, brought together by the love of soccer. Up until 1993, the club fielded one team. Due to an expanding player membership a second team was formed. In 1998, the club had enough playing members to start a third team, giving the older players a place to keep playing at a less strenuous pace
